IP Law in Vietnam:

Vietnam follows a “first-to-file” system for intellectual property protection, making early registration crucial for securing rights. The country has seen increasing enforcement of IP laws, particularly with its commitments under international treaties like the CPTPP and EVFTA. However, navigating Vietnam’s IP system can still be complex, especially when dealing with application refusals, infringements, or enforcement gaps.

As a licensed IP law firm in Vietnam, ANT Lawyers supports businesses in understanding the local framework and using the system effectively. Whether you’re entering the Vietnamese market or already operating here, we offer legal and strategic guidance to register, protect, and leverage your intellectual property rights.

Key Services:

– Trademark Registration & Portfolio Management:

Conducting searches, filing applications, responding to refusals, renewals, and handling oppositions.

– Patent Filing & Protection:

Drafting, filing, responding to examination reports, and managing utility solution registrations.

Who We Work With:

We primarily work with foreign companies, foreign-invested enterprises, and Vietnamese businesses that require clear, commercially-minded legal advice on IP matters in Vietnam. Our clients include startups registering their first trademarks, manufacturers protecting product designs, and international law firms seeking local IP support for their clients.

We are particularly suited for clients who appreciate direct communication, quick turnaround times, and lawyers who understand the practical side of doing business. Whether you’re in technology, fashion, food and beverage, or healthcare, we focus on helping you make informed decisions about your IP rights in Vietnam.

What Our Clients Say About Us:
